다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Central Language and Literature Society, founded in 1952 and with a legacy of 72 years, launched the The Journal of Lang. & Lit. in 1960 and will publish its 100th volume in December 2024, 64 years since its launch. The fundamental spirit of the Central Language and Literature Society is the firm will and academic sincerity to develop Korean studies through the study of the Korean language and literature and to become the center of the community involved in it. The history of the Central Language and Literature Society can be largely divided into the inception period (1952-1992), when the Department of Korean Language and Literature at Chung-Ang University was the publisher of The Journal of Lang. & Lit.; the growth period (1993-2007), when the graduate school became the publisher of The Journal of Lang. & Lit., and attempted to transform it into a national academic journal; and the development period (2008-present), when The Journal of Lang. & Lit. became a candidate for being listed as a journal and expanded into the national academic scale.

Second, the periodical grew from being a biennial publication system at the time of its founding into a quarterly system of four publications per year, thus becoming an academic community that contributed to the development of Korean language and literature. Third, the number of papers published in each issue has increased significantly since its launch.
